Interesting observation.  You got any personal experience in such development? 
Which should include a much better configuration interface, and much better 
other stuff.

Now, if I was doing the project, I'd start by deciding exactly what I wanted to 
end up with.  Then I might acquire some of the pieces, if available, and face 
writing the rest.

I'm guessing there is stuff Process has that would be helpful, and usable, in 
the new product.  But that in no way would mean that I pulled in the entire 
Process product.  Actually, that would not be very helpful, if the goal was a 
much better product than what's currently available, which includes the Process 
products.
